Top Ten Metal Songs From the '90s and 2000s

The Top Ten

It's just great and sadly one of maidens last songs with bruce Dickinson for 7 year but it was iron maidens 90s anthem with a epic heavy riff it will go down in history as one of metals best songs

Best. Intro. Ever. I love how such simple lyrics become so operatic and haunting, buff said

One of the best songs ever!...every time I listen to it...its just sounds more awesome... - Ananya

This list sucks more than nu metal

2Holy Wars... The Punishment Due - Megadeth

So glad Megadeth is above Metallica. This is their masterpiece song off of their masterpiece album. Dave Mustaine is one of the most technically perfect guitarists ever, and his writing for this song proves it.

The Best Thrash Metal Of All TimeThis Record Is God of Thrash metal."brother Will Kill Brother'

How come a7x slipknot and System of a Down songs are higher than megadeth and Metallica? At least maiden is 4th... Just voted for holy wars Thrash metal classic

Fewy this track had it all a great riff cool bass lines (if you can hear em) and some kick yo butt drums and most importin of all morbid lyrics

A very dark and emotional song, comparable to 'Beyond the Realms of Death' by Judas Priest. Get ready to get chills. Mindblowing vocals (Hansi Kürsch). - Metal_Treasure

5Afterlife - Avenged Sevenfold

When I listen afterlife first time I'm just shocked! What a vocal! The meaning of the song is awesome.. And the guitar solo! This is just amazing... Everyone should listen up the song now... The best metal song ever...

Best song ever by by the est band ever written an amazing drummer and song writer who is no longer with us rip the rev he was the greatest

This song has a great rhythm and beat to it! And the solo is just blistering! Synyster Gates truly perfected his skills in this song.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE A7X SONGS

6The Bard's Song (In the Forest) - Blind Guardian

This ballad is so unique and amazing that became a metal anthem - it's great live. - Metal_Treasure

7The Pursuit of Vikings - Amon Amarth

8Walk - Pantera

9Dante's Inferno - Iced Earth

10Before I Forget - Slipknot

The Contenders

11Nailed to the Wheel - Edguy

12Dance of Death - Iron Maiden

13Tears Don't Fall - Bullet for My Valentine

14Chop Suey - System of a Down

The breakdown for this song... It still sends chills down my spine. This song is a true masterpiece in the end it's not even close this should be 1.

This whole album is amazing

15Sad but True - Metallica

The riff! That is all

Metallica is the best. Love this song always...

16Walk With Me In Hell - Lamb of God

If Metallica was 90's this song would be 2nd after master of puppets. Otherwise it's 1st or 2nd after laid to rest.

A7x 'rocks' only because they have a huge number of fangirls and fanboys! Anyways they're more pop-like hard rock than metal. This song and band is 666x better than them.

By the way where's slayer? Seasons in the Abyss and Eyes of the Insane should replace the disgraceful nu-metal Linkin Park! - Progressiveness
